CROWMELL >> A 2-year-old child suffered non-life threatening injuries when he fell out of a window at his home early Monday afternoon.

The toddler was playing on the arm of a couch and was leaning against a window screen when the screen gave way and both the screen and the child both fell out of the window, Police Chief Anthony J. Salvatore said Tuesday.

The child fell approximately 4 feet, Salvatore said.

Emergency personnel responded to the home on Redwood Court after being summoned in a 911 call following the 1:47 p.m. incident.

The child was taken to the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center in Farmington “as a precautionary measure,” Salvatore said.
